Painting the rollbar?

Should I paint the rollbar and ext. to windshield the same color as the body, khaki metallic? Or the same color as inside of tub, black seats with black undercoating on floor? I do not want to cover the rollbar with any padding either.

Matt

I herculined mine when I did the floor cause I was sick of the soft top hardware and the hard top sliding back and forth scratching it up all the time. I like it. Just something else to think about.

I know the top needs the U-pol but I matched the roll bar, looks better IMHO.






I U-POLed the feet to blend in.

It's not there for looks it's there for functionality. ;p I don't like the looks of scratched paint up and down the rollbar and that's what kept happening to mine.

I just finished U-POLing the inside and went up the roll bar even with the top of the tub. Looks great and I'm really happy with the U-POL results. Coastie
